Veřejná architektonicko-urbanistická soutěž na podobu náměstí u Masarykova nádraží

Masaryk Railway Station and its surroundings are currently undergoing significant transformation into a vibrant part of the center of Prague with quality public amenities and transportation connections. The forecourt of Masaryk Railway Station, located at the intersection of Na Florenci and Havlíčkova streets, has long been an overlooked and neglected place. Part of it is used as a parking lot, and the remaining space primarily serves for pedestrian transit. The aim of this competition is to create a quality public space in the forecourt of Masaryk Railway Station and to find conceptual possibilities for the modifications of the nearby surroundings. The proposed space should suitably complement both the existing (especially the historical building of the Masaryk Railway Station) and the planned construction (the design by Zaha Hadid Architects). We believe that due to the location of the site and the surrounding buildings, this area has strong potential to transform into an attractive and pleasant space in the very center of Prague. The competition consists of two rounds. The first round is anonymous and open to all architects, studios, teams, and students. A maximum of 5 studios will advance to the second non-anonymous round.
